It looks to me like they forgot to texture-map the ends of the carriages, particularly obvious on the below picture. The rest seems to have been rather flatly mapped with photo-textures - not sure I'd risk 25€ to find out if the interior is any better :-?

It is a w.i.p, but if their other rolling stock items are good there is no reason to suspect this will be below par?

Actually the loco shape itself barely matches with the real. If you see other images, the roof is too high, the pantograph is about 2 times wider than it should be, also it looks like a lowrider...

Sadly there have been quite a few negative comments on Railsim.de about this.

Possibly the best Railjet we might get is if HRQ Studios produce the coaches and control car to match with their Taurus. We'll have to see what JT brings to the table, but this model as shown in images above don't really do justice to the Railjet, sorry to say...

I think the picture seen is very much a prototype as it was still being worked on. I can say their other add on SBB Route 1 is probably by far my most favorite add on for RailWorks. I use the stock quite a bit on Albula v2 too as it is as close as i can get until someone releases some Rhb narrow gauge. The Re 4/4 is absolutely the best looking E-lok model I have, and works flawlessly with my Raildriver....even has a shiney quality that just looks great when lighting effects are on full, and interior cab is top notch. Headlights are very bright and nice for night driving too. I have nothing to do with them, but am looking forward to thei Heidi expansion, and will most certainly try the Railjet as well. They are pricey but the other route was top notch on little things like the sounds, the lights, just so many details above what I have seen in other add ons...but yeah like all things Swiss you'll pay a steep price. I have no regrets paying $60 for the other route though. I would think they'd make more if they lowered price and let it sell through steam......but eitherway I'm a fan of their work.
